Flui Pet Nat 2024

With Humus, we brought home lots of uncomplicated and authentic drinking pleasure, made by a warm-hearted and humble man, who lives very close to nature - working among his vines as much as necessary and grabbing his surf board when the waves are good - who doesn't say a word too much, but knows what he wants.

Waar serveer je ’m bij?
A pet nat in the literal sense: fermentation starts in wooden barrels and the wine goes into the bottle before that fermentation is finished, so that it carries on in the bottle. No fining, no filtration, so it comes out of the bottle cloudy and that is how it should be. The sparkle is finer and more irregular than in a proper sparkling wine, and that is precisely why it works at the table: bubbles lift fat and breadcrumb off the tongue, but at the same time it stays a wine and not a party.

Rodrigo Filipe was one of the pioneers of natural wine in Portugal and remains one of our personal favourites. On his 9 hectares near Peniche he makes fresh, low-alcohol wines that he only releases after several years of ageing.
